10/30/24 - Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including: the latest news from NASA how an autonomous robot is taking images from around the globe and how it can help farmers, how well politicians are delivering on their promises to small farmers, and the USDA announces initiatives to increase competition and lower food prices. Then, Doug introduces us to Gretel Adams of Sunny Meadows Flower Farm (sunnymeadowsflowerfarm.com), an urban flower farm producing sustainably grown fresh cut flowers out of Columbus, Ohio. They strive for responsible stewardship, with fairly treated employees, supporting a healthy community. Their flowers evoke feelings of nostalgia, creating a botanical journey through seasonality and plant diversity. They hope to cultivate a greater connection to where the flowers come from, historically influenced by small-scale floriculture. Lastly, Doug opines all of the nonsense from politicians who want your vote, a $9 Million initiative from the Ag Department that’s suppose to transform US Ag education, the dangers of mass-production farms and why PETA is right to come for them, and more.
